Amazon offers Virtues (Audio CD), List price A giant leap ahead / 4 With this CD, Allies leaped out of the middling pack and became one of the better Christian pop bands of their time. Again produced by Dino Elefante and Randy Thomas, this time they brought a stronger pack of tunes and it makes for a better 40 minutes. It also placed one track on Christian radio. (#6 hit "If You Believe") There are no outright cringers on this one, although opener "Hardened Hearts" and "Harmony" are less compelling than much of the other material. Those who despise digital drums will dock this album points for that, but c'mon, this was recorded in 1986 and it was the "hip" thing then. Vocalist Bob Carlisle seems in better command of his voice here and spends less time "showing off" his range and more just trying to communicate the lyric. Standouts here are the hunger relief ballad "Prayer for the Children", apocalyptic pop/rocker "Runnin' Out of Time", a song from Jesus' point of view to his disciples ("Somebody Told Me You Were Crying") written as though between His crucifixion and His resurrection 3 days later, "Jacque Remembers" (a new Christian looking back at where she's been...it includes a neat reference to the Beatles 'Getting Better') and a song (autobiographical?) about a musician with a struggling marriage asking for another chance ("Let's Fall in Love (All Over Again)". If you're not someone who gets too hungup on whether a certain keyboard sound, guitar tone, or production setup is "dated", then this should prove a welcome purchase for you. For an even better deal, search for ASIN B0001J3ZKM which is a "twofer" release of this album plus their self-titled debut. 3 1/2 stars Song "Send Me" Cafe cats are waiting Loves anticipating Coffee steaming on a rainy day Couldn't stay at home All those souls alone Dropping by and looking for Another taste See you smiling from across the bar Take a little wine - have a good time Let's see Are you waiting for the night To start Baby i'll come around if you're Here for me You're so lovely So lovely Let me know if you want me Baby come on Send me the night Send me what's right Send me your guiding light Send me the love Send me your groove Send me your velvet mood Send me smooth Send me your love Maybe love's in bloom Like an old sly tune We can spin the words Around the moon Mind and body met Heaven starts to sweat Ecstasy forgets about staying cool Not just one more night out On the town Breaking down All that's gone before Feeling things i thought were Long passe Coming around again Coming on today Baby nothing ventured Nothing learned There's no way to fake it Baby can we take it Send me the night Send me what's right Send me your guiding light Send me the love Send me your groove Send me your velvet mood Send me smooth Send me your love Send me your kiss Send me another wish Send me this Send me your love Send me your smile Send me just an ounce of style Send me baby send Send me your love Maybe this is how we're Meant to stay I won't stop until you I won't drop until you Make me make me Baby baby baby baby Send me
